Nicolas Sarkozy "laughed uncontrollably" when told Dominique Strauss-Kahn had been caught partaking in an orgy with prostitutes but swore his aides to silence and went on to name him IMF head, a new book claims. Les Strauss-Kahn, written by Raphaëlle Bacqué and Ariane Chemin, journalists at Le Monde, provides fresh details about Mr Sarkozy’s knowledge of Mr Strauss-Kahn’s sexual practices, his proximity to the Socialist and decision to protect his reputation. Mr Sarkozy was interior minister late in 2006 – a few months before his election to the presidency – when Alain Gardère, the public security chief of Paris, told him about an incident in the Bois de Boulogne to the west of the capital. A policeman came across several parked cars whose windows were steamed up as their occupants were engaged in an orgy. When he knocked on the door, he spotted Mr Strauss-Kahn. When Mr Sarkozy was informed of the discovery he broke out into an “uncontrollable throaty laugh”, the authors wrote. When he received Mr Strauss-Kahn before he left to take up his post in Washington, he swore his secretary general, public security chief and police chief to silence. “He will no doubt get the IMF job. Let’s keep this to ourselves, all right?” he is cited as telling them. Mr Strauss-Kahn went on to become the Socialist Party favourite to challenge Mr Sarkozy at this year’s election. But even then, Mr Sarkozy is quoted as saying: “You know very well that he CANNOT be a candidate [given his behaviour and reputation as a libertine].” That forecast came true after Mr Strauss-Kahn resigned as IMF chief after being accused of raping a New York hotel maid.

. . . and that’s who Sarkozy lost to (meaning Hollande). Nicolas has been married three times himself (he’s got a thing for models) and is no stranger to having affairs; he may as well be a socialist himself.
This is so cliche. You would think that politicians could be original for once. Same old conduct.
OoOps! Forgot to mention the H/T to LucyT for the article.
Thanks, Lucy!
TRANSLATION, PLEASE!
Sarko was married. He never brought a live-in girlfriend/mistress into the residence of the Head of State.
Hollande, age 67, has never been married. Lived with former live-in girlfriend/mistress, Segolène Royal, with whom he fathered four children and whom he refused to marry, saying “marriage is a bourgeois institution”.
At least Sarko believes in the institution of marriage. Hollande, the Socialist doesn’t he thinks marriage is a bourgeois institution.
Sarkozy, "He paid!" Burst of laughter. "What a libertine! No worries now. We've got him. He'll be no challenge to us. If he had my job he wouldn't have to pay." Hope that provides some clarity.
Someone should tell Anne Fulda, then.
oh yeah and the chopping off part (excuse the phrase. lol). Given that Krausse one pay for his orgy and two was no longer a threat to defeat the man who held the highest office in France—chopping off is exactly what happened. Although I would say more of a hacking. I can say that comfortably as I am a woman. lol.
good point.
I laughed, too, when I read that. I tried not to, but a laugh got out of my mouth.
Thanks Cincinna.
It is a ROFLMAO moment.
It seems that Monsieur DSK is not only a degenerate and a pervert, but a cheap one at that.
Kind of like the Eliot Spitzer of France. Spritzer, one of the richest men in NY arguing with a callgirl over price, then paying with a credit card. DSK married to a billionaire, one of the richest women in France, doing almost the same thing.
